If accepted into the Masters program will I be funded?No. The department does not fund regular Master's students. You can apply for graduate student instructor (GSI) positions through the Program in Biology, but you are not guaranteed a position.

Can I move directly from the Masters Program into the Ph.D. program? No. All Ph.D. applications must go through the same application process and review. The Masters program is not a stepping stone to admission to the doctoral program.
